Connected devices

To make full use of Nokia Ovi Suite, you should have your mobile device connected to the computer. When your device is connected, you can see the device’s image displayed in the device area in the lower left-hand corner of Nokia Ovi Suite. The device area displays the following information for a connected device:

  • The connected device’s name.

  • An icon for a USB cable connection or Bluetooth connection depending on which connection type you are using. Note that if you are using a USB cable connection and have selected media transfer mode to transfer DRM protected music, media transfer mode is indicated by a key icon in addition to the standard icon for a USB cable connection.

  • In the Home view, a button for defining the sync options for your device or for syncing content according to your current sync options.

  • In the Contacts, Messaging, or Photos view, a button for syncing the view’s content between your mobile device and computer, and information on whether the view is up to date.
